Agent Correlation Identifier Option for Asset Tracking and Data Merging

With this release, “Asset Tracking & Data Merging” setup has a new option to correlate and merge unauthenticated scan results from scanned IP interfaces and cloud agents for assets using Agent Correlation Identifier. To accommodate this new option, Agentless Tracking Identifier is renamed to Unique Asset Identifiers on Asset Tracking and Data Merging Setup popup.

From this release onwards, the Unique Asset Identifiers will include two options – Agentless Identifier and Agent Correlation Identifier. The “Unique Asset Identifier” option can only be enabled by the Manager Primary Contact for the subscription. Any Manager user can view and edit “Asset Tracking & Data Merging” tab.
